In his journal Fox mentions his arrest at Armscot after a "very large and precious meeting" in the barn close by; but we have no allusion to the hiding-place, for he appears to have been sitting in the parlour when Henry Parker, the Justice, arrived indeed, George Fox was not the sort of man to have recourse to concealments, and owe his escape to a "priest's hole."
In this, tradition says, the Lord Protector was hidden.
